Under the circumstances where everyone was determined to leave, Xu Shouwang and Yin Tianzong really couldn't find any excuse to persuade them.
Even if they let Guo Feiyu and Song Quan perform a double act, it was no longer of any use. These people still planned to leave this tower tonight.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Shouwang and the others were also very disappointed, but they had no way to persuade everyone to stay.
"Since everyone wants to leave, then we can't stay any longer. Let's leave with everyone!" Under everyone's insistence, Xu Shouwang finally compromised.
There was no other way. If these people left, then it would be too dangerous for them to stay here alone.
Originally, he had asked so many people to come in just to cover for them and act as a shield.
Now that there was no shield, they naturally couldn't stay any longer.
Moreover, if these people left here tonight, then they might be exposed very quickly, so there was no need for them to take this risk anymore.
More importantly, they had been searching here for a whole day, but other than the traces of the array formation on the floor, they still hadn't found any other clues. This really made him very angry.
Perhaps they should go out and discuss with the others, then think of a way to come in and see if there was any way to find the mechanism inside.
"Brother Xu, are we really going to leave like this?" Guo Feiyu asked with some surprise.
He didn't expect Xu Shouwang to actually agree with everyone's idea.
"We have no choice but to leave now. There's nothing here, so we can only leave!" From the bottom of his heart, Xu Shouwang naturally wasn't willing to leave just like this. Even if there were no clues now, he might be able to find some if he stayed here every day.
But now, he really had no reason to let the others leave. If everyone else left, then it would only be more dangerous for them to stay. Not only would they have no shield, but they would also easily expose themselves.
"It's almost the hour of the ox. It's almost the hour of the ox. We can go downstairs now!" Yin Tianzong estimated that it was about time and reminded them.
It was only a day and a night, but to these people, they were extremely eager to see the outside world.
They couldn't wait to jump out of the window directly, but they knew that this was definitely impossible.
Although they already knew that there would be no guards downstairs for an hour from the hour of the ox.
Even so, they still cautiously went down the stairs, not daring to make too much noise. They also did not dare to turn on the lights, afraid that their every move would attract the attention of the Cheng family.
Originally, they would have been safe if they had just obediently left. If they insisted on causing a ruckus and got caught red-handed at the last moment, that would really be too stupid.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the bottom of the tower, everyone was very excited. A day and a night of caution passed as if it was a year. Every moment made people worry about him.
Compared to the inside of the tower, the outside was like heaven.
At this moment, they were no longer looking forward to ascending to the Immortal World. As long as they could safely leave this pagoda, the outside world would be their Immortal World.
However, when they arrived at the second floor, it was not yet midnight. So although everyone was anxious, they did not immediately go down to the first floor because they were worried that someone would suddenly rush in from the outside.
"It's already five in the morning. Let's go out!" After waiting for a while on the second floor, it should be five in the morning. Tao Wensheng was already a little impatient to go downstairs.
"Don't be anxious. It's just five in the morning. Even if the guards outside have changed shifts, they shouldn't have gone far. Let's wait a little longer. There's still an hour of empty time!" Yin Tianzong pulled Tao Wensheng and reminded him.
"Brother Yin is right. I was too impatient!" Tao Wensheng nodded and felt that Yin Tianzong's words were very reasonable.
Everyone patiently waited for about 15 minutes. When they felt that it was already safe, everyone then walked down from the second floor.
"Be careful. Check if there's anyone outside before going out!" Xu Shou saw Yin Tianzong opening the door in front and reminded him carefully.
"Understood!" Yin Tianzong nodded and wanted to open the door. However, he pulled a few times but the door didn't open.
"What's going on?" Xu Shou, who was behind, saw that Yin Tianzong didn't open the door for a long time and asked curiously.
"This door can't be opened. It seems to be locked!" Yin Tianzong explained.
"Locked? That's impossible, right? "The others were instantly shocked.
"Let me try!" Xu Shouwang came to the front and tried to pull the door a few times. He also couldn't open the door.
"This door really seems to be locked!" Very quickly, Xu Shouwang also came to the same conclusion.
"How could this be? If this door is locked, doesn't that mean that we can't get out? "Everyone suddenly became very panicked.
"Let me try!" Tao Wensheng obviously couldn't accept this result. Moreover, these two people were the ones who insisted on staying. Such an outcome naturally made him a little suspicious.
Every time he pulled, he used more and more strength. However, to his disappointment, he still couldn't open the door.
"How is it?" The people behind asked anxiously.
"This door really seems to be locked." Tao Wensheng used more strength, but to his disappointment, the door still didn't budge. In the end, he could only helplessly say the same thing as Xu Shouwang.
"How could this be? Didn't we easily open this door when we came in yesterday? Why would they lock this door today? "Li Yun asked doubtfully.
"Could it be that the Cheng Family already discovered us, so they deliberately locked the door?" Qiao An said.
"That's impossible, right? We were so careful last night that we didn't notice anyone else at all. Moreover, we didn't hear anyone enter the tower during the day. How did they know we were in the tower? "Guo Feiyu said.
"But isn't this too much of a coincidence? We specially observed this tower for three days, and we never saw them lock the tower.
It just so happened that we came in, and they locked the tower. Isn't this clearly targeting us? "Someone retorted.
"Since they already had people in the tower, why didn't they directly come in to capture us, but only locked the tower?" Guo Feiyu asked in return.
"This … How would I know? Perhaps they are deliberately trying to trap us in the pagoda, making us unable to call for help even if we cry for help? "That person said in a flustered and exasperated manner.
"Brother Xu, what do you think?" Yin Tianzong ignored them and asked Xu Shouwang.
"It's hard to say now. Moreover, we can't be sure if they only locked the door for tonight or if it will always be locked," Xu Shouwang said with a shake of his head.
Although he originally didn't want everyone to leave the tower, now that they were locked here, his thoughts were different.
Previously, he was the one who was willing to stay, so the initiative was with him. He wanted to find the secret of the tower here and complete his mission. When he wanted to leave, he could leave at will.
But now, they were forced to stay. They were in a passive position. Not only did they not have any initiative. Even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't.
So, he was a little worried now. Did the Cheng Family do this unintentionally, or did they do it on purpose because they discovered them?
If the Cheng Family did it on purpose, it meant that they had already been exposed. From now on, they could only be at the mercy of the Cheng Family.
"It's over. If they lock the door forever, won't we be locked here forever?" someone said anxiously.
"Locked here forever? You're thinking too much. If this tower can really increase the speed of people's cultivation, even if we can't use it, wouldn't the Cheng Family use it?
How could they lock the door forever? "Song Quan said indifferently.
"Even if the Cheng Family disciples open it when they want to use it, do you think we can get out? Won't we still be caught by the Cheng Family? "
"Then, do you have any good ideas for us to get out now?" Song Quan asked disdainfully.
"If we really can't do it, we can escape from the window!" The person thought for a while and pointed to the window on the tower.
"This might be a way. Anyway, the guards are not here now. If we escape from the window now, we shouldn't be discovered.
As long as they can't catch us now, after we leave this place, everyone can deny it. I think the Cheng Family won't do anything to us! "Tao Wensheng's eyes lit up. He agreed with this idea.
If it was said that when they couldn't find the array mechanism on the tower, he only felt a little regret. But now, he completely regretted it.
He felt that the door being locked today was definitely not a simple thing. It was not a coincidence. Perhaps this was the Cheng Family's intention.
Therefore, their current situation was very dangerous. If they stayed in this tower, they would only be in more and more danger. It was safer to escape as soon as possible.
At least outside the tower, even if the Cheng Family found out that they violated the Cheng Family's rules, at least they wouldn't be trapped. If they wanted to escape, they still had a chance to escape down the mountain.
But here, if the Cheng Family really wanted to catch them, then they had no chance to escape. They could only wait for the Cheng Family to catch them.
"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and go to the second floor! "When the others heard this idea, they ran to the second floor without hesitation.
Although there were windows on the first floor, the first floor was very high and the windows were also very high. Moreover, if there were people outside the tower, they would be discovered very quickly if they opened the windows.
If they were on the second floor, the people under the tower might not notice that the windows were open.
